I just received the Aviva Directory newsletter where they are offering special promotion $20 dollars off from July 15 to July 31 whether you use special coupon cipher “Umdum“. that makes regular listings to be $29.95 with the coupon which is a really nice deal!
For the humans that don’t know much about Aviva Directory, I’d like to say that that is one of the best directories on the Net, based on quality and page rank. Based on simple SEO estimations, a listing in Aviva Directory can bring you so much pr and link juice than about 200 regular directories and counting. The is mainly due to the large number of backlinks those guys invested in and the strong pagerank on numerous inner pages that can be easily passed on your listings.
I don’t want to advertise them too much, but I’m really happy with them and I can most definitely say that they are one of the 10 directories I have paid listings. additionally here I can put some criticism on the Yahoo directory which is the most pricey directory I’ve ever enlisted in with its $250 annual listings and the fact that I didn’t get even one hit from that directory for the 6 months I have listing with them. I guess the large number of hyperlinks and my deep page listing is making it the most unprofitable investment I ever had and they only thing I can say in my defence why I have a listing there is only prestige. (but in reality who cares about prestige when its all about visitors and link juice).
Also I’d like to say that Aviva is one of the few directories that I know that receives huge amounts of actual visitors. that makes aviva very interesting and cost effective way to get both good pr and few visitors for the price of $30.
I just wanted to share that and help you enjoy that great benefit since I’m on my way to list my huge array of niche websites.

dollar linking…
Nice post! Let’s not make a problem out of this phenomen and see what happens after 2 or 3 google updates I would say. Since Yahoo asks about 200 USD for a review, I do not see any problem to bid for a position on a directory if the inclusion is human…
